There was a story that Mama read to Jiro: nbsp; Once, in old Japan, a young woodcutter lived alone in a little cottage. One winter day he found a crane struggling in a snare and set it free. nbsp; When Jiro looks out the window into Mr. Ozu's garden, he sees a crane and remembers that story. nbsp; Much like the crane, the legend comes tonbsp;life--and, suddenly, Jiro finds himself in anbsp;world woven between dream and reality. Which is which? nbsp; Allen Say creates a tale about many things at once: the power of story, the allure of the imagined, and the gossamer line between truth and fantasy. For who among us hasn't imagined ourselves in our own favorite fairy tale.(BIP)
